I would like to rank a matrix by value (with corresponding name) per time period. Also, as the matrix will be a bit larger, I would like to indicate every person with a different color. That way one can easily see how each and everyone performed over time. So in the result, the background of Davis would be green for instance, Smith would be yellow and Jones red.

As an example:

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]Monday[/TD]
[TD]Tuesday[/TD]
[TD]Wednesday[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Smith[/TD]
[TD]5[/TD]
[TD]9[/TD]
[TD]3[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Jones[/TD]
[TD]6[/TD]
[TD]2[/TD]
[TD]8[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Davis[/TD]
[TD]8[/TD]
[TD]7[/TD]
[TD]4[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Desired result:
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]Monday[/TD]
[TD]Teusday[/TD]
[TD]Wednesday[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]Davis
8[/TD]
[TD]Smith
9[/TD]
[TD]Jones
8[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]Jones
6[/TD]
[TD]Davis
7[/TD]
[TD]Davis
4[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]Smith
5[/TD]
[TD]Jones
2[/TD]
[TD]Smith
3[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

So far the best way for me to do this was by hand as I did above, although I would like automate this process as results may differ on a daily basis.
Also, thusfar I am not able to assign names to numbers and colors in the same (or different) cell.

I hope this is clear. I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Floris

Say you have data starting from A1, run the below script, you will see the result from A20 onwards.

Sub Macro3()


Dim i, j As Long
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
i = Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Rows.Count
j = Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Columns.Count

Range("B2").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Sort.SortFields.Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("A2:A" & i), _
SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Sort
.SetRange Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(i, j))
.Header = xlYes
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With


Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(1, j)).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Range("A20").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste

For k = 2 To j

Range("A1:A" & i).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Range("P1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste

Range(Cells(1, k), Cells(i, k)).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Range("Q1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste

Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Sort.SortFields.Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("Q2:Q" & i), _
SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlDescending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Sort
.SetRange Range("P1:Q" & i)
.Header = xlYes
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With

Range("R2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=RC[-2]&"" ""&RC[-1]"
Range("R2").Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("R2:R" & i), Type:=xlFillDefault
Range("R2:R" & i).Select
Selection.Copy
Range(Cells(21, k), Cells(20 + i, k)).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False

Next
Range("P1:S" & i).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.ClearContents
End Sub

Try this for results on sheet2.
NB:- I have not coloured the Results cells because if you have many names you soon run out of useful colours and many light colours become hard to read.
If you really want the colours I can provide them , but do a trial colouring first to see what is acceptable (font or Interior colour).

Hi Mick, you're a lifesaver! Thank you so much.
It looks really great, although I could really use the colors (preferably in RGB scale) so one can easily see how the rank is (as a color is easier to recognise than a words).
Thank you!

Hi Mick,
Thank you for your response, though I am not able to see any colors in my sheet, the outcome remains te same as the (awesome) first code you wrote.
So if all Smith (and corresponding values) would carry the RGB color scale ( 0/0/255). Jones would get (255/0/0) and Davis (0/255/0).
How would I implement this in the code above?
Thank you for your time!!

At the end of the latest bit of code there is a Sub to colour sheet 2 data (see below). Have you got that in your code module ????

Code: 
[COLOR=#000080]Sub[/COLOR] Newcols(nRng [COLOR=navy]As[/COLOR] Range, sRay)
[COLOR=navy]Dim[/COLOR] rw [COLOR=navy]As[/COLOR] [COLOR=navy]Long,[/COLOR] Ac [COLOR=navy]As[/COLOR] [COLOR=navy]Long,[/COLOR] n [COLOR=navy]As[/COLOR] [COLOR=navy]Long,[/COLOR] fCol [COLOR=navy]As[/COLOR] [COLOR=navy]Long[/COLOR]
[COLOR=navy]Dim[/COLOR] Dic [COLOR=navy]As[/COLOR] Object
[COLOR=navy]Set[/COLOR] Dic = CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
    [COLOR=navy]For[/COLOR] n = 1 To UBound(sRay, 1): Dic(sRay(n, 1)) = Dic.Count: [COLOR=navy]Next[/COLOR] n
[COLOR=navy]For[/COLOR] Ac = 1 To nRng.Columns.Count
    [COLOR=navy]For[/COLOR] rw = 2 To nRng.Rows.Count [COLOR=navy]Step[/COLOR] 2
        [COLOR=navy]Select[/COLOR] [COLOR=navy]Case[/COLOR] Dic(nRng(rw, Ac).Value)
            [COLOR=navy]Case[/COLOR] 2, 6, 15, 19, 20, 22, 24, 27, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 43, 44, 45, 46, 51, 52: fCol = 1
            [COLOR=navy]Case[/COLOR] Else: fCol = 2
        [COLOR=navy]End[/COLOR] Select
        nRng(rw, Ac).Interior.ColorIndex = Dic(nRng(rw, Ac).Value)
        nRng(rw + 1, Ac).Interior.ColorIndex = Dic(nRng(rw, Ac).Value)
        nRng(rw, Ac).Font.ColorIndex = fCol
        nRng(rw + 1, Ac).Font.ColorIndex = fCol
    [COLOR=navy]Next[/COLOR] rw
[COLOR=navy]Next[/COLOR] Ac
nRng.Font.Bold = True
[COLOR=navy]End[/COLOR] [COLOR=navy]Sub[/COLOR]

Hi Mick,
Thank you for your fast response. It worked!
Still, is there a way to personalize the colours in RGB scale?
Many thanks!
